With Real Melbourne Bike Tours you'll see more in a few hours than most see in days. Get your bearings as you explore Melbourne’s coolest streets, parks, shops, cafes, hidden laneways and multicultural neighbourhoods with the wind in your hair.

This tour was named the best in Melbourne by international fashion magazine Lucire which described it as "the jewel in the crown" of Melbourne tours.

Experience real Melbourne hospitality and sample some gourmet treats on this leisurely ride with a local guide. It’s the perfect way to start any Melbourne visit and was named one of the top 10 things to do in Melbourne by New Zealand’s Metro magazine.

Find out how an Italian cyclist founded Melbourne’s “Little Italy”, why Melbourne was originally called Batmania and why a stuffed Kiwi horse is the number one drawcard at Melbourne Museum in this tour designed by Melbourne journalist and photographer Murray Johnson.

Learn why Melbourne’s streets are lined with lava and its Eureka Tower is glazed in real gold.

Discover the Greek tavern that has no menu, the Spanish restaurant in a Scottish pub, and Melbourne’s best-kept-secret – Little Saigon.

The men’s salon that gives you a free Aussie beer with every haircut, the shop that boasts 15,000 cookbooks and lots more quirky “inside” info on the world’s most liveable, rideable city.
